In the first post-Venice episode, Ewan and Lachlan catch up on all the news and trailers that came out while they were off. Most notably, the baffling A Minecraft Movie Trailer. The trailers for Wolf Man, The Apprentice & Happyend look more promising. They discuss the Venice & TIFF festival winners and why Gen Z doesn't like Sex in Movies. Finally, the Sundance hit Didi is out digitally and they have a lot of praise for the authentic coming-of-age story set in the late 2000s.
Oscar Nominations, Sundance & Fallen Leaves
IT'S LACHLAN'S BIRTHDAY! This week we discuss the Nominations for the 96th Academy Awards. What were the Snubs and Surprises? One of the films that unfortunately did not make the Final 5 for the Internation Feature Category is Aki Kaurismäki's Fallen Leaves, which is the film we are going to review in detail. The Sundance Film Festival has wrapped and Ewan caught some films virtually that he'll tell you about and Lachlan started True Detective: Night Country.
